What Bishop Potter said to the Diocesan
Convention last Thursday on the subject OF
the projected Cathedral is of deep interest to
many people who did not hear it. The most
significant portions of it will be found in
another column. Concerning the difficult
question of the site. the Bishop makes tho
agreeable statement that it is advancing toward
a favorable solution. The usefulness of the
Cathedral will undoubtedly depend in large
measure upon its location.

Governor Hill came out of the contest over
the Democratic State Committee in such a
pitiabIy Inundated condition that it is not
surprising that the men at the wheel of the
Cleveland machine see good reasons for placat-
ing him, and so wardinR off the secret slabs
that he might feel disposed to deal the State
ticket. The Governor is much less concerned
about that ticket than about securing ma
jority in the Legislature. which would maten-
ally increase his political power. This gives
special interest to the meeting Of the State
Committee on Wednesday. Of the thirty-four

Albany dispatch states that he will probably

The scene in and about Plymouth Church
Yesterday inevitably recalled the days when the
severely simple edifce was all too small to
contain the crowds that. hocked to hear MIR.
Beechers glowing el0Quence and life was a
burden to the ushers engaged in finding seats
for the multitude. 1t was an occasion OF ex-
ccptionaI interest for various reasons. Dr.
Parker was Mr.. Beccher's friend and has come
70 this country primarily to deliver O euogy
upon the dead preacher which will be heard
in BROOKLYN tomorrow night. Hc stood in
Mr.. Becchcr's pulpit on the first Sunday in
October-the Sunday on which for many years
Mr.. Beechcr resumed the work Of preaching
after his summers rest. In the third place,
there has been much speculation about the
possibility that DIR. Parker might be called to
tho pastorate made vacant by Mr.. Beechcr's
DEATH 1t is needless to say that SO far this
is only speculation but Judging from yestcr-
day 1t may be asserted that in one respect
that of drawing largo cOngregations--Dr.
Parker seems able to maintain the Plymouth
Church tradition.

The result Of the Tennessee vote on the Pro
hibition amendment 10 tho Constitution is not
yet announced in detail but the closest calculation
appears TO Indicate the casting Of heavier
majority against the amendment than had been
anticipated. 1t was known that the negro vote
was strongly opposed TO the measure, but il looks
now as though the progress which the Prohibi-
tionists thought they had made in convincing the
white voters was much below their estimates
The large towns outside of East Tennessee went
heavily against the amendment In East Tcnnes-
sec 1t obtained considerable majority The
campaign was exceedingly energetic, and tho
ProhibItionists were materially helped by the
Indies, who turned out in force on election day
and supplied coffee and sandwiches to the voters.

Judge Barrctt's ruling on the Conspiracy law

The men arrested were charged with causing
strike because one firm refused TO discharge
workman who declined to join the Knights Of
Labor, and by threats OF strike compelling
another firm 10 discharge foreman and two
other employees. The Judge holds that this
was an unlawful conspiracy because the question
OF maintaining advancing the rate OF wages was
not involved. peaceable strike to secure
either OF these objects is all right, but deliberate
and organized attempt to crush out n non-union
workman is all wrong. This is clear and sensible

Many people do not know how easily
they can protect themselves and their

other insects. Weak carbolic acid
sponged on the skin and hair, and in
cases the clothing, will drive away the
whole tribe. A great many children

are afraid OF picnics and even Of

through the stocking so seriously that
for days she could not wear leather

judiciously used. The safest plan is
to keep a saturated solution of the
acid. The solution can not contain
more than six or seven per cent. and
it may be added to water until the lat
